heyyaaaaa :D
first of all, i would like to say sorry from the deepest bottom of my heart for taking so long to post the pictures of my penang journey here. mianhae... m(_ _)m
i'm going to share the story first, then the pictures later :)
our journey started on november 15, at 10 pm. like what i told before in the last post, the journey to penang normally took around 5-6 hours. since that week was full of holidays, we were kinda afraid that we would be stuck in the traffic jam and arrive late at the National Poison Centre. since we visited this place by the name of UPM, of course we wanted to keep the image as good as possible, which was the reason why we departed early from serdang. we divided ourselves into two so-called teams, in which five of us were in the car and the rest were in the rented van.
luckily for us, the road was pretty clear so we did not face any traffic jam at all. however, since the car i was in was following the van and the van was speeding like crazy, of course the car had to speed up too, and we managed to arrive in penang in just like 3 hours something. yea, you can imagine how fast the vehicles were rite :P
since we arrived very early, we decided to drop by at Gurney Drive first and have some night ocean breeze there. it only made us become more sleepy though :P
after that, since time for subuh prayer was approaching, we decided to drop by at the nearest masjid to clean ourselves and have our subuh prayer there. we wanted to have some 'nasi kandar', which is one of penang's specialty, for breakfast at first, but considering that we consisted of multicultural students that might not be able to accept traditional foods (since some of them think that malaysian foods are too spicy), we had our breakfast at a mamak stall instead.
after that, we directly went to National Poison Centre which was located inside Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), and one thing which made us proud was the staffs there said that we were the first group of visitors who were on time, since previous visitors always came late and made the staffs wait *grin*
sooooo we went around and heard for some explanations from them, mostly about poison that might be around us. they also explained to us about the way they made the determinations of these poisons using their own method, which is really cool.
we finished our visit at National Poison Centre after lunch time, and we decided to go on separate ways between the van and the car, since those in the car had to drop by at Batu Kurau (which is somewhere around Perak) like what i had told you all in the previous post. this was the first time for me to attend a village-style wedding and the foods were absolutely yummy! i was so in love with the fritters that i could not stop myself from munching them ^^ the lovely thing was these people made their own goodies, meaning that the cookies and cakes that they gave to us were all homemade, and of course they're all delicious too! ^^
soooooo, i guess that's all with the story. i'm pretty sure that you guys will enjoy seeing the pictures more :)
